[QUOTE="dig, post: 601816, member: 26939"] I have never had a Remington 700 extractor fail and have hunted with them all over from -20 in the Yukon to -115 in Namibia to 10 soaked days in Alaska. I always hear the extractor is a weakness and have had two smiths I use try to convince me to change to sako or m16 style. I have done one with a sako extractor and it has not proved better than the Remy to date, hope I am not proved wrong. A custom action (Stiller and Nesiaka, owned) are works or art and there are features I like, like the bolt release and lock up smoothness; However, they have not shot any better than my rebarelled Remy's. My two best shooters have been rebareled Weatherby's with out action work. It's all a matter of economics, you can pick up some pretty inexpensive used Remy's at shows or in stores my last purchase was $350.00. But for the big stuff the costum actions is probably the best choice. Why do we always compare the BR guys (I do it too, so no offense)? Should'nt we be looking at the action shooters, or precission hunting shooters? I can't see carrying one of those monster BR guns to the feild. All things considered you can buy a hell of an accurate complete new Savage for about the costs of purchasing or accurizing a Remmy. Yes I think they are ugly but the new ones sure shoot and there are a lot of aftermarket parts. Savage is my recommendation to any new to the sport. [/QUOTE]
